Lithoscapes

Lithoscapes is a library of acoustical Impulse Responses recorded at important geological sites found within the Kent Downs AONB. At each location a sound recording was made of a balloon being popped. This sonic information is processed to create a reverb effect, encapsulating the acoustic space so that it can be reproduced and applied to other sounds.

Accessed through a web app, the user is able to experience each space, using a synth-sequencer to compose and play music into their chosen lithoscape.
